Recently, I came across this... just this http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242529-lamenters-5th-battle-company/



Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. The Lamenters have become my favorite thing about the 40k setting since the day I heard of their plight, and their tenacity, ferocity, and outright grief-driven rage is best shown in their last known survivor: Brother Chyron. For as long as I have known of him, I always assumed he was placed in the typical furioso dreadnought chassis. But upon seeing that image, I thought, "It makes sense. The contemptor chassis does look to be a better platform for CQC." Being new to this hobby, I would like to know: What dreadnought pattern is Chyron wired into, and would it even matter?

Seeing as the chapter is post-heresy, Chyron would most likely be a MKIV or V dreadnought as contemptors are mostly relics of the heresy era.

It wouldn't be unreasonable for the chapter to have gotten a hold of a contemptor pattern and transplanted Chryron into it though.

So to answer your questions, he is most likely a standard looking dreadnought, but at the same time the lack of details opens possibilities for him to be a contemptor. Use which ever model you like.

He is either a Mk IV or Mk V Dreadnought, otherwise they would have mentioned it. He's simply referred to as a plain Dreadnought.
